DesignCon is a premier technical conference and exposition dedicated to high-speed communications and system design. Located in the center of electronics innovation, Silicon Valley, the event provides industry-critical engineering education through an expertly curated 15-track conference. Created by engineers for engineers, the program features technical paper sessions, tutorials, and industry panels covering all aspects of chip, board, and systems design.
The expo floor serves as a hub for networking and discovery, featuring leading suppliers and the latest developments in high-speed design tools and technologies. Attendees can access industry giants and startups, including companies such as Amphenol, Cadence Design Systems, Keysight Technologies, Luxshare-ICT, and Molex. The Chiphead Theater offers complimentary sessions, including workshops, demonstrations, and expert-led panels.
Daily keynote presentations offer insights into power electronics, 5G, and next-generation product innovations. Notable speakers include Joseph Lukens, Associate Professor at Purdue University, and Mark Ren, founder of Agentrys.
A central component of the event is the recognition of technical excellence. The “Engineer of the Year” Award is presented to an individual demonstrating leadership, creativity, and out-of-the-box thinking in the design or test of chips, boards, or systems, specifically within the fields of signal and power integrity. Additionally, the event hosts the Best Paper Awards to celebrate outstanding contributions to engineering literature.
The event facilitates professional networking through interactive product showcases and social functions, including daily booth bar crawls designed to foster new business relationships among high-caliber industry professionals.
